The native file/folder path.

$path

Result

Returns file ID as number.

Description

Queries the NodeID fo the file or folder.
On Mac OS X, every file usually has an unique ID on the hard disk.
Not all volumes support NodeIDs, but if they do, you can later find the file back on that volume using Files.GetPathFromNodeID.

Added Windows support in plugin version 8.5.
While node id is currently a 64-bit integer, it could change in future to an UUID or 128bit number.
